US pharma and ‘healthcare’ firms will be just as keen to take chunks out of the NHS under Biden as what they were under Trump.

Oh I see.

The ongoing sale of the NHS is passed down from President to President, bit like that 'Presidential Book of Secrets' they're always banging on about on the Scovery channel.

I get-cha.

Who the president is has very little to do with it. If I’ve read it right, as part of a trade deal something like the Scottish whiskey industry(yum yum) will want better access/lower tariffs with the US market in return for someone like US pharmaceuticals being able to sell drugs at a higher price to the NHS than what they get at the moment. They’ve been trying to get a ‘mini deal’ over the line in the last few weeks but have obviously failed.

Of course the NHS will be able to pay the higher prices with that lovely 350m squid a week we’re saving now we’re not in the EU.

Hahaha yeah.

I've just heard the term "Ex-President Trump" for the first time, and it put a smile on my face.

I couldn't resist a look at the odds for the 2024 US election, and Kamala Harris looks a decent bet at 43/10. Biden will be 82 then, so I can't see him even wanting a second term. If he steps down Harris is the obvious replacement. It will be interesting to see which way the Republican party goes from here, and it's noticeable how quickly Pence seems to be distancing himself from Trump. I'm convinced Trump is finished, so there might be a long civil war among the Republicans with no unity by 2024.

Don't they still have to call him Mr President over there?

I wouldn't be surprised if Trumper started his own Political party. 'America First' or summatt similar. He does like those donations and he does still have plenty of loyal 'Trumperers'. Could poss cause problems for the other 2 main Political parties in the future?
